Our approach

Power and electrical project experience

We recruit electrical engineers for construction, utility and power projects, including protection and control roles. Search criteria identify the system, project phase and responsibility the new hire will own.

Our approach

Protection and control coordination

Candidate discussions may cover substation interfaces, relay and control systems, drawings, equipment coordination and construction or commissioning support. We distinguish the employer's design, engineering and field requirements rather than treating every electrical role alike.

Our approach

Qualifications tied to the assignment

Licenses, training and technical qualifications depend on the position and governing requirements. We confirm those needs directly and assess project experience, communication and coordination relevant to the work.

Our approach

Local and traveling power talent

Our network includes local electrical professionals and candidates willing to travel 100% for power and construction assignments. We clarify site time, project coverage and travel expectations before an introduction.

Good questions

Frequently asked questions.

Which electrical roles do you recruit for power projects?

We recruit electrical engineers, project engineers, substation professionals and protection and control specialists. We define the project phase and technical responsibilities before outreach.

What does protection and control experience include?

The scope may involve substation protection, relay and control systems, drawings or construction support. We confirm the employer's project needs instead of assuming one standard role.

Do electrical engineers need a particular license?

Requirements depend on the work, jurisdiction and employer. We establish any required license or qualification during the search intake.

Can you find electrical candidates who will travel?

Yes, we recruit locally and from a nationwide network of professionals willing to travel 100% for assignments. Travel and site expectations are discussed in advance.

Which employers hire protection and control professionals?

Searches may support contractors, utilities, construction managers and power project teams. The candidate profile follows the hiring organization's role in delivery.

How does your contingency search work?

No professional recruiting fee is due unless we place a candidate the employer hires. The signed recruiting agreement sets the terms.

How it works

How we fill your job.

Four steps, run by Ivan or a senior teammate.

01

02

We find and speak with candidates

We call people with the right experience, including many who are not applying for jobs.

03

You meet the strongest matches

You get a short list with notes on each person. We set up interviews and share feedback.

04

We help you complete the hire

Relocation and travel

Location is part of the search.

We look locally first and discuss whether relocation or travel makes sense. A traveling superintendent's rotation, a PM's family move and a local commute are different decisions. We cover relocation help, per diem and timing before you meet anyone, not at the offer.

Placement protection

Candidate replacement guarantee

How long is the candidate replacement guarantee?

We offer a candidate replacement guarantee on standard search agreements. The applicable period and exact terms are set out in the signed client recruiting agreement.

Eligibility, exclusions, notification requirements, payment requirements, and replacement terms are governed by the signed client recruiting agreement.
